Target Weight

[Ela]

Hi Cathe,

After testing the 1 RM and creating the workout card, does the workout card suggests the target weight amount to be lifted as one or two weights? For example Disc3, Squats with Dumbbells, target weight 25. Does that mean 25 pounds in each hand or 12.5 pounds in each hand?

Thank you so much.

Hi Ela,

I believe that means 25 pounds in each hand For your 1RM you only entered the wegith for one DB, riight?

I did DB squats today, I was squating 70#, I used a BB! I don't have heavy enought DB's!

Hope this helps!

It is one dumbbell if that is what you used when you did your 1RM test (or two if that's what you used). It is calculated from whatever YOU entered in Workout Manager. Cathe recommended only recording one db, to make it easier to figure out what to grab(not having to divide by two), and so that the average numbers might have some kind of consistency and meaning at some point if enough people follow this guideline.
